This is mostly a bugfix release with a newer kernel. So don't expect nothing fancier. And please note that things like proprietary drivers won't work unless you recompile kernel modules against this new kernel (nVidia display drivers, ATI catalyst, VirtualBox, etc.)

"keep it simple" (without Conky, without visual effects and using a fast gtk theme)
"shiny things" (with Conky, xcompmgr for visual effects, murrine-rgba gtk engine for windows with transparency on some areas, transset-df allows you to set transparency level)

- More gtk themes.
- New linux kernel: 2.6.28.5 (2.6.28 + Ubuntu-8.21 patches)
- Now using System Sound Themes, kguitars by default (based on kguitar GPL sounds)
- Increase/decrease window transparency. pressing ALT+MouseWheelUp/Down, if xcompmgr is running.
- Tabble, application launcher, provides an easy way to launch and organize applications
- Better screenshot support(openbox menu)
- 4 presets for xcompmgr (OpenboxMenu>VisualEffects)
- Conky, Openbox, LXPanel and more can be easily edited, restarted or disabled through OpenboxMenu
- Added Rejoystick, a gamepad to keyboard mapper(Requires a gamepad to work)
- Add sound and video editors (mhWaveEdit and WinFF)
- There is no video player, but you can preview almost everything with ffplay(Open with menu)

Hi Wow
Great to use a kernel that actually recognizes and uses my dual-core processors. Conky shows both working independently.
Not sure whether it's a function of your desktop manager, but choosing 1280x800 (my notebook's native screen resolution) in Xorg always results in a screen resolution of 1024x768.
The good news is that it also displays on my external 1440x900 monitor well enough to use, without my usual nVidia drivers (which I guess would need to be compiled against your new kernel).

I have a Broadcom bcm43xx wireless card. On first boot nothing was recognized, but after using the system for a few minutes I retried the network scanner and all of the local access points showed up.
I used the wireless connect wizard as I would normally and clicked on "retain for next boot". Happily I downloaded Firefox and a couple of other pets, and was surfing nicely.
I rebooted and nothing came up for wireless nor can I connect again. Any idea what's going on here? Why did connection work once but not again?
The available b43 and b43legacy modules don't seem to work for my card and the bcm43xx module it isn't available in the list of modules to load.
The wlan0 interface shows up but I can't get connected again.

I'm a bit egoist, I made this puplet just for my needs, what I wanted was an small puplet to install to a usb key, capable to boot on newer boards, with low RAM usage (I dont't want to create a swap file every time I boot puppy on machines with 256MB ram or less) with better modular support ("load more than 3 SFS", thanks to MU), multilanguage, multi-core support, Force Feedback (aka joystick/gamepad vibration) support, ready for Compiz Fusion, and with a impressive look.

This is what I do with it:
I use WinFF to convert youtube videos to whaterver, or just convert .wma files to mp3 or ogg.
Chat (Ayttm)
Play FoFix (not included) [youtube videos]
Check/Read/write email.
Boot WinXP Home with Virtualbox to use MS Office (not included)
Edit sound files with mhWaveEdit.
Play some PSX games (ForceFeedback)
Compile stuff faster with "make -j 4" (SMP)
Burn DVDs.
Play music with Pmusic (every day)
Watch some videos with xine (not included)
Use Osmo.
Boot my usbpuppy on other computers to check filesystems, check hardware info, remove viruses, create/restore backups, etc.
Impress my friends and more.

How to install sfs's pup's etc.

SFS's: use bootmanager and reboot. (I'm using 23 SFS's right now in my usb flash drive)
PET's: Oops, I forgot to check if petget works correctly (I don't use it), I will do it later._________________

I would say that you are very modest, not only have your created a great pup, but it's with an updated kernal, and lots if goodies, plus the capability to mount and use both gnome and kde sfs and plenty of eye candy. Also, you are quick to share your knowledge. Yes, modest indeed.
